Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't know why I keep on believing you need me
When you've proved so many times that it ain't true
And I can't find one good reason for staying
Maybe by leaving would be the best for you
[Verse 2]
But these rose colored glasses
That I'm looking through
Show only the beauty
'Cause they hide all the truth
[Verse 3]
And they let me hold on to the good times, good lines
The ones I used to hear when I held you
And they keep me from feeling so cheated, defeated
When reflections in your eyes show me a fool
[Verse 4]
These rose colored glasses
That I'm looking through
Show only the beauty
'Cause they hide all the truth
[Verse 5]
So I just keep on hoping, believing
That maybe by counting the many times that I've tried
You'll believe me when I say, "I love you"
And I'll lay these rose colored glasses aside
[Verse 6]
These rose colored glasses
That I'm looking through
Show only the beauty
'Cause they hide all the truth
